(now this can be debatable as I counted that through my logic but I might be wrong) While we see the mentions of characters from SOC duology and follow only Nina from that series, most of the book is extension of Grisha trilogy. It takes place 2 or 3 yrs after the SOC duology.
It worked better in SOC because they were all in more or less the same place.”
But as the story is switching between Zoya and Nikolai in Ravka and Nina in Fjerda, it breaks the pace of the story making distracting and even slows the pace that is a negative point.ĭiscussion – I can’t help but agree with what Toni said, “I complained about having only Alina’s POV in her trilogy and missing the Darkling’s? Well, now I appreciate its focus. Separate perspective takes us closer to the character and we see lots of change in them from what we read in grishverse and SOC duology and so we see how much characters have developed and they all have come so far which is a positive point. +/- The story is multiple narrative from Nikolai, Zoya, and Nina’s POV that takes place in two different places making it two stories going parallel at the same time. There is so many things in this book that I want to say but I’m not sure where to start so I will randomly dump my thoughts with positive and negative points.
The story is about grief, political intrigue, inner turmoil, survival, slavery, exploitation, and power struggle. King of Scars is intense and spectacularly written YA fantasy that focuses on Ravka’s ongoing struggles where we don’t just see the Scars of King of Ravka, Nikolai, but also of king’s general, Zoya, and King’s spy, Nina. But some secrets aren’t meant to stay buried–and some wounds aren’t meant to heal. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha general, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, Nikolai must find a way to refill Ravka’s coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war–and he intends to keep it that way. The dashing young king, Nikolai Lantsov, has always had a gift for the impossible.
